Alf, The IP440 was end of lifed a couple of years ago. Nokia usually say that they will continue to offer hardware and software support for 3 years, I think the 440 has got about 8 or 9 months left of this.
That's the official line... What will probably happen is the next release of IPSo won't work in a 440, the spec of the box is really old. So the life span will depend on the status of IPSO. 3.7 is due for release very shortly to coincide with the release of NG AI (FP4). It will be interesting to see what the release notes say about supporting 440's because there is quite a lot of added functionality in IPSO 3.7, clustering and stuff like that. One other thing you could do is to install SecurePlatform onto the 440, inside its an Intel box .... ;) see how that performs ... hth Dan Bridges [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fixmyfirewall.com -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of NG, Alfred Sent: 06 June 2003 23:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] Expected life on a Nokia IP440 firewall Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone would have an estimate of what the life-span is on a Nokia IP440 firewall? 4 years? 5 years? > Alfred Ng > Information Management Technology > Alberta Pensions Administration > 3rd Flr, Park Plaza, 10611 - 98 Ave > Tel: (780)427-1386 Fax: (780)425-6245 > E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Web site: www.apaco.ab.ca "Time is a consequence of Matter thus General Relativitity is a direct consequence of QM" ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
